Cat Sitting Murphy

“We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Nancy and Paul for our two cats! They kept us posted with great pictures during their drop-in visits, which made our vacation totally stress-free. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

“Having Linda drop in on my kitties everyday for 2 1/2 weeks has taken all the stress out of leaving them. Linda has been a wonderful pet sitter and their new best friend! Communication was excellent and I will definitely book her again.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST Rover sitter! Emily is truly such a blessing to us, and I cannot say enough amazing things about her! ❤️ She is the sweetest, most caring person, and it is so obvious how much she genuinely loves and cares for Thea. She treats Thea like one of her own dogs, and that means more to me than she will ever know. Emily goes above and beyond every single time she watches Thea. She brings her special treats and bones, takes her on walks, and even puts on Paw Patrol or a movie for her to watch while I’m away. 🥹 It’s all the little extra things she does that show just how much she cares. Knowing Thea is not only safe but also loved, spoiled, and happy while I’m at work gives me such peace of mind. As someone who has to be away from home for long shifts, having someone I can trust with my girl is priceless. Emily is so much more than a dog sitter to us. She is a huge blessing in our lives, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I would recommend her a million times over to anyone looking for someone who will love their pet like family. Thea and I absolutely adore her! 🐾💕”

About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.

“Our two pups love when Lexi comes to visit and we know we can trust her with great updates and always being on time and excellent communication.”

“Sara took great care of both my cats, Jasper and Ella. She even went back to check on Ella when she was hiding, and sent me photo confirmation that gave me peace of mind. Reliable and caring highly recommend.”

About: I am a lifelong cat owner with special knowledge and experience caring for senior cats, as well as kitties of all ages! As the cat parent of a picky eater, I am well-versed in feeding routines that require extra care and attention. Nontraditional, finicky, and particular eaters are my forte. I work in an office Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. During the week, I am available for early morning, evening, and nighttime visits. On weekends, I have much more availability and flexibility. I provide a comfortable environment and dedicated quality time to anxiously attached cats, and needed space to those who are wary of strangers. Every cat has unique needs, boundaries, and quirks. I understand the importance of meeting cats where they are.

“Katie was amazing. My kitkats felt comfortable enough to come out and interact with her, including the newest and shyest kitties. She also helped keep their days enriched by reorganizing their toys and changing their cat tv. Thank you Katie!”

I map out a calm, secure space for them to settle in, strictly follow your existing house rules, and ensure they have a dedicated, cozy spot to rest undisturbed. • Drop-In Visits: I enter your home calmly and respectfully to avoid startling your dog. I focus heavily on companionship, spending high-quality one-on-one time keeping them company, reinforcing good habits, and providing comfort until you return. • Outdoor Walks: Safety on the leash is my top priority. I keep a firm grip, stay fully aware of our surroundings, carefully avoid triggers like strange dogs or loud noises, and only walk in secure, pet-friendly areas. • Patience & Bonding: I let every dog move at their own pace. I use positive reinforcement, praise, and gentle treats to build a secure bond, making sure they always feel safe, respected, and loved.

“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”

Bridget F.

“She did amazing with our kitty who needed a pill administered while we went out for the night. She was very attentive and even gave us pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her for watching kitties. 10000/10 thank you so much!!”

About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!

“Jenni was great looking after our doodle while we took a little weekend getaway. She did everything we asked and made sure to send pics so we know how our Arya is doing.”

“Cathy is communicative and easy to get in touch with. You can tell she really loves cats and she took great care of my boys while I was away.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, crazy dogs. I’ve seen it all and love it so much! I also used to work at the humane society of Missouri, so I am incredibly qualified to walk any and all kinds of dogs no matter the temperament, I guarantee I’ve seen it all! Hyper dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs. You can trust I have the skills to safely walk your furry friend and provide love and enrichment! Hello!! I’d love to add your furry friend into my morning daily walk :) I am an outdoor education teacher in the Northampton St. Louis neighborhood and am looking to walk some lovely animals weekdays 7 am-9:00 am and any time of day on weekends!! I can also do walks anytime after 6:00 pm! As for daily in house check ins, I can also do those at the times stated above :) as you will find in my profile, I am very experienced with dogs and cats and other pets and have a deep genuine love for animals ❤️ I love forming a trusting relationship with any animals I interact first. Trust is the essential part of any dog/cat human interaction, so I can better suit their needs.

“Mr. Man (my cat) was quite taken with Latasha. He enjoyed snuggling and hanging out with her, and I was very happy that at the end of our trip he was in good mental and physical health. I hired Latasha to day sit with Mr. Man as he recently got a bad cancer diagnosis, and I was afraid he might not be in good enough health for us to travel. I was especially thankful that he didn't lose weight, as anorexia is a side effect of his cancer.”

My background includes caring for a variety of dogs, focusing on their individual needs and routines.

About: I grew up around dogs and spent four years volunteering at an animal shelter in college, where I worked with dogs of every size, energy level, and temperament—including shy, anxious, and reactive pups who needed extra patience. Today I'm a dog mom to Coco, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I keep routines consistent, follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly, and send photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I work a full-time consulting job with a flexible, project-based schedule, so I open bookings by date rather than every week. When I'm available, your dog gets my full attention—no hours alone in a crate. My Rover calendar is always kept current, so if a date shows open, I'm truly available. I'm happy to do a meet & greet before any first stay. My home in Webster Groves is a quiet house with a fenced backyard, and the landscaping was planned with dog-safe plants. I host one family's dogs at a time, so your pup is never in a crowd. My dog Coco is a 30 lb mixed breed who is gentle and easygoing with other dogs—she'll play for a bit, then happily nap and give your pup space. She's a little shy with new people, so meet & greets are relaxed and low-pressure. I require a meet & greet before every new stay, walk on leash only, double-check gates and doors, and keep your vet's info and an emergency plan on hand.
